The AFL Victoria – WRFL “Coach of the Month” for May 2017 is Kirk Heberle from the Point Cook Football Club. This award recognizes some of the great work being done by local coaches in the Western region community and reinforces the importance of good Coaching in local football, schools and Auskick.
There were quite a number of nominations that came through for Kirk. The below quotes outline some of the key qualities he displays as a coach.
Kirk is a fantastic under 8's coach just what the kids need in their first year, encouragement, team spirit, sharing the ball and most importantly making sure all the kids have had fun! He has respect for all officials and players, and took the time to provide feedback about all players, which was such a wonderful surprise as our son loved hearing how he has progressed.
He is a great example of an all rounded role model as his knowledge, skills and communication are a far greater benefit than beyond that of just developing children's football skills. The evidence of this is how in just 3 months the children have developed skills and behaviours other than just how to kick a football.
Kirk's ability to strike an amazing balance between challenging the kids to improve, follow instructions and unite as a team along with constant positive praise and reinforcement has been exceptionally impressive.
We are very lucky to have such a dedicated and experienced coach. It is people like Kirk who keep the kids interested in footy.
Congratulations Kirk – a very well deserved winner amongst a huge amount of outstanding nominations.
For his efforts, Kirk will receive a Coaching Resource Pack and a $100.00 AFL Store Voucher, while a lucky one of his nominators will also receive a $50.00 AFL Store Voucher.
Thank you to all who took the time to fill out a nomination! We received some outstanding applications, and goes to show that Western region footballers are in great hands.
